This article is worth reading. Pre-fight Sports Illustrated article on Ali-Williams 1966. https://vault.si.com/vault/1966/11/14/you-watch-out-ali
I think his reputation might always have been based on these two things: 1. Sonny Liston when he was champion often said Cleveland Williams was...
Michael Spinks against Marvin Johnson was a good one
